Fox's final appearance with The Runaways' was on their 1977 Live in Japan album. It was during the Japanese Tour on which that album was recorded that Fox decided to leave the band. According to Fox herself in the 2005 documentary film Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways, she was distraught over the band members' inability to get along with each other and called her close friend Randy Rhoads of the L.A. band Quiet Riot, who encouraged her to come home. Vicki Blue was quickly hired as her replacement.

Though she had quit the band three years earlier, Fox appears on Flaming Schoolgirls (1980), an outtakes compilation featuring songs recorded during the Queens of Noise recording sessions in 1976. She would later appear on the compilation albums, Neon Angels and The Best of the Runaways.

Fox refused to give permission for her name to be used in the 2010 Hollywood feature film The Runaways. Instead, the producers created a fictional character named Robin (portrayed by actress Alia Shawkat) as the band's bassist in the film.[2]

In 2013, she appeared as a contestant in the fourth episode of The Chase, and on September 6, 2013, she was a contestant on the syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, now hosted by Cedric the Entertainer. She had banked up to $16,100, but ended up with only $1,000 after missing a question.
